Miranda Lambert recently released Postcards from Texas, and the country star has revealed why she decided to return to her Texas roots for this album. Discover her favorite songs from the new record, her friendship with Lainey Wilson, why country music is shining so brightly now and more!

Jason Lipshutz: I’m so excited for this album in particular. Does it feel like kind of a new chapter for you, in terms of, you know, new music and kind of new album and new label and just like, kind of new presentation. Like, how does it feel on the eve of release?

Miranda Lambert: It feels exactly like that. I mean, I went back home to Texas to make this record on purpose. I hadn’t made a record in Texas since I was 18, and that was my very first little independent studio album, but it was the starting of a journey, and it was the starting of putting it on tape, like all the inspiration that I had gathered up until that point. So I felt like I want to do that again. I want that same fire, and I want to go back home and sort of pull from all the inspiration that I’ve used for the last two decades in this business. But it all started at home for me, so I just felt like that was the right thing to do at this point in my life.

And I do have a new team, a new label, Republic, and they lead with art. That makes me so excited because that’s what I’ve always done, but you don’t always have the support every time with a team that leads with art, so this has been, just kind of lit a new fire for me, really.

This week, Zach Bryan tweeted that Ye is better than Taylor Swift and received backlash from Swifties. The country singer took to IG today to apologize to Taylor Swift. Keep watching to see what his apology said. 

Tetris Kelly:
Kanye over Taylor Swift? At least that’s what Zach Bryan said, but now he’s apologizing to The Eras Tour queen after saying he’s been going through some things. We’re breaking it down. On Wednesday the country star shared a hot take on X posting, “eagles > chiefs, Kanye > Taylor” concluding with “who’s with me.” 

And after the Swifties rose up, he swiftly deactivated his X account. Well today on IG, he’s being candid about the post. He opened up saying, “I’ve been going through a hard time in my own life and I think I was projecting a little. The last thing I want is people thinking I don’t appreciate and love what she has done for music. Don’t drink and tweet!”

Posting a Speak Now deep cut he continued, “Taylor has been a force of nature for as long as we’ve all been growing up and I admire that,” before concluding, “This year has been an awful lot on me in personal ways that no one knows and I’ve been trying to cope and balance too many things at once. So I’m going to take a breather from tweeting stupid stuff, finish my tour and ground myself somehow in the midst of all this.” 

Do you appreciate Zach’s honesty? Do you think Taylor and Zach would sound good together? Let us know in the comments.

Ryan and Blessd, how are you? Welcome to Miami. I love that we are celebrating El Bendito Ghetto Tour. How do you feel?

Ryan Castro: Really happy. Thankful to God for this. It’s going to be an amazing party, quite unforgettable for our fans.

We have to start from the beginning. Where did you meet?

Blessd: We met in Medellin. Ryan came from Curazao. And I was in a country house, I don’t remember, and Ryan told me to go to the studio. And I arrived at the studio.

But had somebody already introduced you? 

Blessd: No. We had only talked on social media. 

Ryan Castro: Yes.

Blessd: We hadn’t met yet. That was the first time. We met at the studio. 

Ryan Castro: First, we flirted. 

Blessd: We fell in love over Instagram. Both of us. I’m kidding, we first talked on Instagram. And he told me, “I’m in the studio, come.” “OK, I’m coming.” I went to the studio, we listened to some songs, and then came our first song called “Lejanía.” I was resentful too …

Ryan Castro: What do you mean with “too?” I was chilling. 

Blessd: So we recorded the song and that’s how we met. And from there on, it’s been like six years?

Ryan Castro: Like five years.

Cardi B responds to a non-payment lawsuit. Keep watching to see what she had to say.

Tetris Kelly:
Cardi B to the stand! The rapper snaps back at owners of a music video set that say she didn’t enough. As she represents herself with evidence.

The property owners of the home used in the “Like What” music video are suing Cardi B and Offset for money they say wasn’t enough after also claiming they didn’t know she was filming a music video. She posted to X, “We paid those people $10,000 IN CASH to rent the property for a whole 24 hours. Now they wanna finesse us trying to say we told them it was a TikTok video when that was nowhere in the contract and like they didn’t hear the whole song playing and see how long we was shooting….Why would it take us 24 hours to shoot a TikTok?”

According to Rolling Stone, in an 11-page complaint, the hip-hop heavyweights are accused of “targeting a distinctive property and devising a plan” to use it “without paying full market value.”

Cardi B is providing text messages and screengrabs of payments made. She also posted, “The problem is people wanna find loopholes and get over but IRON YOUR BEST SUIT B—H I’ll see you in court!!!!”
